Import/export windows media player / codec

okay, I don't know what a codec is, but my wife's camera canon SD400 shoots pretty good video for 20 seconds. It saves it as an .AVI file. My camera a minolta does a minute of .MOV files which is pretty poor.
I bought a AIPTEK MPVR to play with with runs on a WINdoze machine and i just happen to have on to experiment with. I would like to take the video with this little machine and maybe export it to .AVI files. the package says I can do this... Will I be able to see the .AVI file on my mac using QT???
Any programs that would let eventually edit the footage on a MAC???
thanks

Hi John:
You may be able to import the AVI right into imovie (Canon cameras often use mpeg or quicktime codecs), but if not, you need QT Pro so you can export the avi file to a DV stream to open it in iMovie.

  • Stoped Import form Windows Media Player, Cant Restart

    I finally instaled Itunes yesterday and about 600 songs into my 1000 i accendently closed itunes and a now i can not get the import and the WAV convert stoped. Could someone please tell me how to get it back going again.

    iTunes cannot import WMA protected songs.
    Are these CDs you imported into Windows Media Player (WMP)?
    If so, you will have to reimport them into iTunes from the CD.
    Also, open WMP, Tools -> Options.
    Select the Copy Music tab.
    Deselect Copy Protect Music.
    This will keep from apply DRM to any music you import using WMP.
    This should not be a problem since you will be using iTunes for all imports in the future, correct?

  • Windows Media Player codec

    I often use compressor to export my FCP project to m2v (use default setting), then import into studio pro to make DVD.
    I know on PC, VLC is the one of the best player to play most of kind of video files including DVD.
    However, I happened to have many client who isn't really computer savy, they expect to play DVD we produce for them with windows media player.
    The problem I ran into is, WMP will says "incomptatible codec" to play the DVD.
    I have several PCs, that will play the DVD with WMP, however, they usually already installed winDVD player...
    Assuming, those player include codec that will play DVD.
    Since such a player (winDVD, powerDVD..etc) usually cost money, I was looking for a free codec to play DVD with WMP.
    I tried k-lite codec pack, which I read it will work on WMP, however, I didn't have any luck to be able to play....
    Does anyone know if there is specific codec I need to be able to play DVD on window media player on PC??

    Thanks, Gary Scotland, for the reply.
    The problem is, many of our client is not very technology savvy and they expect all the video to play on their PC's WMP.
    Since they complained our DVD doesn't play on their machine, we provided them wmv format video, and VLC player to them to view them with explaining WM player is not a DVD player.
    If I figure out exactly what codec WM Player needs to be able to VOB video, it'd be very helpful, and that was reason why I posted this thread.
    I did try google them and search for them.. and test out on several PC that in our office, and one works on the particular codec I installed, but it doesn't work on the others...
    I know if we installed WinDVD/PowerDVD, then, there will be no problem to play DVD on WMP, however, they are all paid software/player...(don't think we want to pay the player for every client). I'm more looking for "THE CODEC".
    I hope this make sense...
    Thanks again.

  • Importing from windows media player

    i have all my music stored in windows media player. and when i go to import it to my itunes from there it wont let it happen. it actually does nothing. i have over 400 songs that i would like on my ipod but have no clue on how to get it there. help!!!

    Are these protected WMA?
    If so, you will need to burn them to an audio CD first.
    If they are not protected, you can darg them to iTunes and they will be converted.

  • Since I updated to firefox 5.0, the windows media player plug in for firefox doesnt work anymore :(

    Ok I recently upgraded to firefox 5.0, and then when I went to a website that uses windows media player to watch videos and news reports, it said I needed to download the windows media player plug in for firefox. And yet I had already done that in the past. So it directs me to the plug in for windows media player 11, I download and install and it doesnt work. Website repeats the same message, you need to download plug in. It was working fine with firefox 4.0! I use the OS Windows 7, 64bit. Any help please?

    Yes I did, at first it identified it as already there, so it gave the option of repairing it, etc, so I uninstalled the Windows Media Player, then Installed it again, and it still doesn't seem to work! I have the same problem with several other plug ins, in the add ons and plug in section of Mozilla tools, I see that say, "incompatible with firefox 5.0" but as days go by those add-ons, that are built by those other websites seem to be repairing it, but I wanted to know for something as important as windows media player plug in, am I the only one getting this problem? :/

  • Export FCP seq in a way that will work on Windows Media Player (good grief)

    Hello all (again).
    Before getting down to business I wanted to thank “FxDude,” TopoTone,” and “governor” for their assistance to my recent posts. By the way- (to all) sorry for the double postings. I was in a time crunch and kind of panicked.
    With that said- here’s my deal…
    I’ve created a short (5min) commercial for a community college. The project was “dirty work” (which I think is the industry term for taking low quality video from multiple sources, cameras, and formats, and turning it into a single decent looking video). If it isn’t the term- perhaps it should be. Note to self – wow, that was way more work than I ever want to do again. Anyway, I digress. The video is done and looks great as a DVD playing on TV’s or projector etc. Cool? Cool.
    Now, although the school will be using the DVD (in most cases) via the mediums of TV and projection, they have also informed me that in many cases, they will be playing the DVD on their various PC laptops and PC desktops alone – aka viewing the DVD on their actual computer screen. Of course, being a community college in California- it’s all PC and all Windows Media Player for them. Further, being a community college- they all run basic versions of WMP with no QuickTime or any other plugins that would facilitate many of Mac’s avi codecs, and they’re not allowed to download such things (at least on the machines owned and operated by the school). Poop I say… POOP!
    Of course, as we all know- (in general) most “dirty work” SD videos formatted for NTSC look like dog crap when played on a computer screen (especially full screen modes) mainly because of interlacing etc etc. Since I worked my butt off trying to make crap look decent and succeeded, im sure u can understand my desire to not move back to crap.
    What I need- (what I think I need?)
    1. I need a version of the video that will play easily on a standard PC via a standard version of Windows Media Player.
    2. I need it to look as good a possible.
    What I know so far- (what I think I know so far)
    1. I need to export a deinterlaced version of the original FCP timeline (sequence).
    2. I need the final version to be .wmv file
    What I don’t know- (pretty sure I don’t this)
    1. What’s the best method of achieving the above? Currently, (based on what I do know and what I have loaded on my mac) I have three
    options for achieving the above. FYI- I have a working version of the plugin flip4mac which offers a wmv export option in both my QuickTime conversion window as well as my compressor.
    a. Export using QuickTime conversion > choosing wmv, and messing around with the settings to get the best quality.
    b. Export using Compressor > choosing wmv, and messing around with the settings to get the best quality
    c. Convert a high quality version of the video (perhaps h264 or some other good looking avi using mpeg streamclip to wmv.
    My questions- (bless all of you for reading this far- good grief)
    1. What’s the best way to do the above?
    2. Is there a way, workflow, codec, setting, or religion I can use to get this done in the least amount of steps?
    3. I’ve been told that there are some codecs that are by their nature deinterlaced- h264?, is this correct?
    4. Based on my issue, what do you think I should do?
    My Specs
    Sequence Settings
    F = 720 x 480, AR NTSC DV(3:2). PAR= NTSC – CCIR 601 / DV (720x480), Anamorphic Checked, FD= Lower / Even, ET= 29.97,
    Comp.= DV / DVCPRO-NTSC
    Advanced Seq Settings
    All same with the addition of quality set to Highest, Scan Mode = Interlaced, and AR set to 16x9.
    Clip Settings = same as Seq settings
    Once again-
    Thanks you guys (as always) for you time-
    Terry

    Hey Terry
    in the corporate world wee have to contend with clients who are all windows based and prevented from installing anything on their systems.
    I use Flip4Mac, Studio Pro HD, with the following mix of settings;
    Open clip in QT, I do also use compressor but for some reason I like using QT for exporting to WMV.
    File/Export
    Export:movie to windows media
    Use: One pass VBR, Presentation (high), 16:9
    Options>
    Advanced... input type: interlace Lower field first(DV), output type: progressive
    Coding method: Two pass VBR
    Give this a shot and then tweak to suit your needs, oh and you can save your settings as a preset for QuickTime.
    Within Compressor there is no export to WMV, so you have to start with another setting and create your own saving it for future use.

  • Export for Windows media player

    What is the safest codec to export a video to be shown on a PC with Windows Media Player?  I have Compressor and Adobe's Media Encoder s well as Mpeg Streamclip on my Mac.
    Thanks.

    Sorry, my mistake .... WMV through AME is Windows only. You will need Flip4Mac to output WMV.

  • Exported media cannot be played by Windows  MEdia Player

    Hi,
    I have loaded in a CS3 project into Adobe MEdia Encoder (I would have eimported it into Adobe CS4 first but it doesn't work- it just loads the project and when it's done, nothing appears). I selected the "Sequence 1" of the project and started the Queue. When it was done, the resulting file does not play on Windows Media Player. I tried loading it into VLC but I get an error about missing a decoder "v210".
    I'd appreciate any help with this.
    Thanks!

    hi derek,
    In CS3, you can find this option by clicking "File>Export>Adobe Media Encoder". In the AME UI that comes up, you need to click on format drop down for the MPEG2DVD format. There, you can use the preset named "NTSC High Quality". since your footage is only 24 minutes long, you can increase the "bitrate" under "video" pane. Make sure that the output size does not exceed the DVD limit.
    To burn it on DVD, you can use Encore. Import the just exported file into Encore DVD project and burn it to a DVD.
    If you face any problem, Do get back to this thread.
    thanks,
    Prateek

  • Is there a way to import music from my windows media player, if so how?

    Is there a way to import music from my windows media player, if so how?

    Exploter the settings in Windows Media Player. It should tell where it is currently storing files. You can also enable the path column in WMP to see where individual tracks are stored. See also Getting iTunes & Windows Media Player to play nicely.

  • My music is on a nas loaded by Windows Media Player in WAV. When I import into Itunes only the songs appear no album name etc.

    My music is on a nas. Loaded using windows media player in WAV.
    When I import into Itunes only the record apears, no Album name etc
    How can can I see all the details

    Information is often stored as tags embedded in the file.  WAV does not support tagging. I don't know how WMP works but iTunes keeps its own database about media.  For many audio formats, track information will be stored both in iTunes' database and in the file itself as tags.  With formats such as mp3 most tags (not all) will 'travel' with the file when copied.  This does not happen with WAV where the information is only stored in the player application's database.

  • How do I export FCP movie to a WMV format (Windows Media Player friendly)?

    I am puzzled. How can I export FCP movie to a WMV format or Windows Media Player friendly?
    Thanks in advance.

    You need a third party app to do this... AVI is the only format that you can export from FCP that's windows media friendly... WMF's can be exported with flip4mac... http://www.flip4mac.com Probably the best of the apps...

  • EXPORT LONG FILES IN 1080p for Windows Media Player

    Hello, need some help in exporting and encoding some large files from Premiere CS6.
    We have 4 Sequences, each totalling 45minutes in length and in 1080p (ProRes422).
    We need to export and encode for Windows Media Player as quickly as possible.
    Looks like each export is going to take over an hour from Premiere as "Match Sequence Settings"
    -keep in mind there is NO AUDIO.
    Once it's out of Premiere as an MPEG, I can transcode to any format. Ultimately WMV would be optimal,
    but we need to transcode the MPEG into a MOV file before 'Episode' will accept it, just to make the WMV files.
    Target files: (4) 1080p Windows Media Player compatible files
    Does anyone have a better workflow workaround? Midnight hour and need help!
    Thanks in advance,
    Dan

    Thanks Jim, I can't export to WMV out of Premiere or Media Encoder. I use Episode to make my WMV files, and since Episode doesn't take MPEG in from Premiere (sigh)
    I have to first make them in Quicktimes..
    But yes! Anything Windows Media Player can handle... should I just go with the 5GB MPG files? No way for me to test, I'm on a Mac and these are playing on a PC
    thanks for your help

  • Exported Video is fine on Windows media player for test upload on Youtube now distorted and unfluent

    I made a "slideshow" for a product video for work those are my sequence settings
    I exported it at H264 and 1080p 29.97
    When I played it in Windows media player it ran perfectly now all of a sudden when I uploaded it to Youtube it is completely distorted and unfluent (all the animations, face in and out) look horrible.
    Does somebody know why this changes so drastically from media player to youtube or did I do the wrong settings when exporting it?
    It would be life saving if someone could help me thanks! :-)

    I tried that but that doesn't get rid of the problem.
    You are right there are no video files...
    Do you know which settings I have to chose in general if I want to have a video that can be exported onto youtube in HD?
    Because I am out of options does it have to do with the fps maybe? Because it looks so chopped of as if the video is to slow to process it smoothly?
    Thanks so much for your help btw :-)

  • How do i import music from windows media player to I-tunes?

    can someone please let me know if there is a way to move all of the music i have in Media Player to itunes. Thank you

    * To import all the audio files in a folder, choose File Add Folder to Library, and then locate the folder containing the audio you want added to your library. The My Music folder (inside the My Documents folder) is often the default location for song files imported into other applications, such as MusicMatch.
    By default, adding songs to your iTunes library places a pointer to each audio file in the iTunes Music folder; the original file remains in the current location. For information about copying files to the iTunes Music folder instead of referencing them, search help for "copying files to your music folder."
    If the file is an unprotected WMA file and you have Windows Media Player Series 9 or later installed, iTunes makes a copy of the file in AAC format—or whatever format is chosen in the Advanced pane of iTunes preferences (in the Importing pane) —and adds it to your iTunes library. The original WMA file remains unchanged. You can't add protected WMA files or protected WMV files to iTunes.

  • HT1849 how to import music and video from windows media player

    I want to import my music and videos from the windows media player, and I want to import or put it all in my itunes library. How do I do that. I know there is a button.
    Am I missing it? Can someone help me please. I am working off of a laptop. If that helps anything.

    In Media Player music list, make sure the "Protected" column is displaying. Sort by that column. Any songs that are protected can not be converted to iTunes. You will have to re-rip the CD with the WMP setting to be to not protect the songs.
    I had the same problem with album covers and could never fix it. I just gave up. I spoke with people at Apple stores and nothing they suggested worked.
